Here's my progress on my brushless hyper 7 buggy. I built my motor mount tonight. Lots of sawing dremeling, more sawing, filing, sanding..... I still have to drill a couple of holes in the base to bolt it down to the chassis.

You did that by hand? Very impressive. What tools did you use? Was it based off a CAD template?
Keep it up!

Thanks all. I just took all the measurements and layed it out on a piece of paper. Then, I drawed it on the aluminum angle with a fine tip sharpie and started drilling/cutting. The tools I used to make it were a band saw, stationary belt sander, scroll saw, dremel with a drill press stand, hand drill, file, and a scotch brite pad to clean it up. I could make some more, but the time I have to invest in each one is substantial. I probably spent at least three hours on it.

Very nice! 3 hours by hand doesn't sound too bad for such a nice piece. Did you just eyeball that for the drawing? What did you use for battery trays?

Thanks. I had in my mind how I wanted it to be, so I just measured and sketched what I wanted. Then, I drew it to scale using a metric square to keep it all straight on the actual piece I cut. The battery holders are from the Kyosho Twin Force monster truck. I have to build some supports and mount them still. They are just laying there right now.

That is sweet. Very nice work. They need to make a class for this.
Awesome work dude. I'm jealous!

How much would you charge to duplicate the motor mount and battery setup? Send me an email or hit me up on AIM.
